Well, the nation's air quality has improved year after year since 1975 even though people drive more miles per year than ever and that includes the Bay Area. It may not be pristine, but it surely doesn't warrant regulation that hampers the economy, cost jobs and the financial destruction of companies.

We have to give Calif. credit for being a early leader in trying to control vehicle emissions, but let's not get greedy and out of control. With the nation as a whole showing improved air quality trends I see no reason for CARB's excessive behavior without regards to the economy.

EPA air trends with local areas too.
